"Boy, are you mistaken? I didn't say I wanted to recruit an apprentice." The big man said angrily.

"I know," Niu Xiaoniu said.

"I know you're still..." The big man was even more stunned. He didn't know what was wrong, but he was interrupted by Niu Xiaoniu before he could finish his words.

"I want to buy weapons, but I don't have money, so I'll come to your store to work as an apprentice to earn money from buying weapons." Niu Xiaoniu said with confidence.

"What? What?" The big man couldn't even turn his mind when he heard Niu Xiaoniu's words.

In fact, Niu Xiaoniu's original purpose was to make ironwork exercises, but when he saw this dazzling array of weapons, he changed his attention. He wanted to match the people in Jiuzhuang and Shiba Village, but he had no money, so he thought of making money by working as an apprentice. He could make ironwork exercises while working, and make money. Why not do it? Hahahaha, he was so smart. From the beginning to the end, he never thought what he should do if this man disagreed?

The big man looked at Niu Xiaoniu who was already in his own dream and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Where did this naughty child come from?

"Hey, boy, all of what you said must be based on how I give you a chance. If I don't give you a chance, wouldn't it be useless? And I can tell you clearly now that I won't recruit you." The big man couldn't help but remind him.

Hearing the voice of the big man, Niu Xiaoniu's dream was instantly broken. Then he looked at the big man with a pitiful look and said cutely: "Uncle, you should be pitiful to me, I have no money to eat."

The big man looked at Niu Xiaoniu's sudden change and looked a little at a loss. He looked very arrogant just now, but now he looks so pitiful. And you have to know that when a child has a huge height gap with you, he raised his head forty-five degrees and stared at you with big round eyes. Such a look is simply a killer of a sentimental person.

"Cough" Although the big man is tall, he is delicate and emotional inside, so he can't stand it anymore and almost agreed. Fortunately, he has strong willpower. Finally, he coughed and muttered to himself, "Hey, this little brat, I almost made a mistake. Why do I want you, a little kid? You can't lift your shoulders and pick them up. Even moving a sword is cumbersome, and you want to swing a hammer."

Niu Xiaoniu had good ears. He heard the big man's murmuring, so he instantly felt hope coming. He quickly said, "Uncle, you are afraid that I am too small and not strong enough. You can rest assured. I have the strength, so you can give me a chance, uncle."

"Uh... OK OK, okay," the big man finally couldn't withstand Niu's cute offensive and promised to give Niu Xiaoniu a chance. He also saw that Niu Xiaoniu was an outer disciple of the Qingfeng Sect. If this were not the case, the big man might have driven people away long ago. Even if he was emotional, he wouldn't have wanted a child.

In the end, the man decided that as long as Niu Xiaoniu could swing a twenty-five-pound hammer fifty times, he would stay as an apprentice. Of course, Niu Xiaoniu agreed directly. His current cultivation level in the middle stage of the Huajin period, let alone a twenty-five-pound hammer, even a fifty-pound hammer is not a problem.

Niu Xiaoniu followed the big man to the backyard. As soon as he entered the place, the heat became more intense. In front of Niu Xiaoniu was a stove with some red-hot iron pieces inside. It seemed that the big man was forging these iron pieces just now.

"Boy, catch it. As long as you can swing fifty times, you can stay." As he said, he threw Niu Xiaoniu a black hammer.

Niu Xiaoniu took the hammer, then swung hard at a piece of pig iron in front of him. The "ding ding dangdang" sounded at once, but it was not as nice and even as the big man swung it.

Finally, in the surprised look of the man, Niu Xiaoniu had 50 strokes. Although he was a little breathless, everything was fine.

After Niu Xiaoniu swung Niu, the big man finally began to seriously look at Niu Xiaoniu's cultivation level. This surprised him. He didn't expect that Niu Xiaoniu was already in the middle stage of the transformation of power at such a young age. It was really a mistake. He originally thought that an outer disciple like Niu Xiaoniu was at most at the early stage of the dark energy, but he didn't expect that Niu Xiaoniu had reached a state of more than 10% of the time.

"How is it, uncle, I can stay now, right?" Niu Xiaoniu said with a smile on his face as he looked at the man.

"Well, you can stay." The big man said depressedly: "You are coming tomorrow, it's too late today!"

After saying that, he ignored Niu Xiaoniu and turned around and walked into the room. Niu Xiaoniu didn't care. Anyway, he just needed to stay.

The next morning, Niu Xiaoniu went down the mountain. He has always been very enthusiastic about being able to increase his combat power.

"Uncle, I'm here." After Niu Xiaoniu came to the iron shop, he did not see the figure of the big man, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Boy, come in when you come!" The big man's voice came from the backyard.

Niu Xiaoniu came to the backyard. The man was already waiting for him. When he saw Niu Xiaoniu, the man pointed to the stove and said, "Today you will pull the bellows. You must keep the fire. If you can't hold on, then you can leave."

"Okay uncle!" Niu Xiaoniu agreed in one mouthful, thinking, isn't it just a bellows? What's the difficulty?

When Niu Xiaoniu heard that he could not make a blacksmith, he said it was impossible not to be lost, but since he had already come in, would the ironsmith be far away?

However, just when Niu Xiaoniu pulled the bellows, he felt that pulling the bellows was not an easy job. At the beginning, he could only pull the bellows a few times with all his strength. He could not start to use his strength, which made it a little easier. However, this method consumed a lot of energy. There was no way, Niu Xiaoniu could only restore his strength while pulling the bellows.

As the days passed day by day, Niu Xiaola’s bellows had been pulled for half a month. Now he has adapted and used the least force to pull the bellows. He has also realized that his strength seemed to have been refined during this period and has become more pure.

"Okay, boy, you don't need to pull the bellows today. Now you can learn to make a fuss with me!" said the big man to Niu Xiaoniu, who was about to pull the bellows.

Hearing the words of the big man, Niu Xiaoniu was overjoyed and quickly picked up the hammer with a twenty-five pound side and came to the forging platform.
